any knitters - need help!!
#1
I am making an ear-warmer/headband for the winter - a simple round band, right? Making it on circular needles. I am almost finished and notice there is a twist in it - like a Mobius strip.
How did I do that?
I am not going to take it out, I will just put the twist in the skinny part (at the back of the head) and sew it down.

That happens when you first cast on, then you connect the two ends. It's easy to miss, but once you go around a time or two, it's irreversable. I did that on my sister's sweater that I started. Think 560 + stitches, x 8 or more rows until I caught on. D'oh!

Everything in life is a metaphor for everything else, and in this instance the directions said to work flat for the first three rows, then join, and here's me: I don't need to do that....I've done SEVERAL things in the round. How hard could it be?
Well, when You're dealing with a giant loop, pretty hard. So it was a lesson to me to LISTEN to others who have been there, and done that. :lol:
(The sweater is coming along great BTW. I'm about 4" in now!)
